With entrants from other industries\u2014retail, food service, startups\u2014on the rise, and inquiries like \u201cI want to make my own brand product\u201d or \u201cI want a small prototype run\u201d surging, the question of how to win high-quality inquiries is now front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explains practical ways for food-OEM makers to efficiently generate leads online and increase inquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-type=\"table_of_contents\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended reading<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wholesale-oem\/\">wholesale and OEM of commercial dried vegetables<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/powder\/\">Vegetable powder list<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_E5utOaWj\"><strong>Changes in the food-OEM market and the need for new lead generation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The food-OEM industry is at a major turning point. Not only large companies but small businesses and startups too are active in developing their own brand products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This market shift now demands a new sales approach on the OEM maker's side as well. Trade shows remain an important touchpoint, but collecting business cards in volume amid a crowd of large rivals is far from easy. There are also constraints of region and industry, which limit encounters with potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" data-thread=\"\" style=\"text-align: \"><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/foodoem\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/studio-cms-assets\/projects\/9YWyw1reqM\/s-2940x1656_v-frms_webp_c54d1b94-23e9-42b3-98cf-3d33704f4544.png\" alt=\"\u98df\u54c1OEM\u306e\u7a93\u53e3\" width=\"\" height=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That's why online lead-generation channels are drawing attention. Using matching sites and SEO in particular lets you convey your strengths to potential customers nationwide, around the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_155XLZly\"><strong>Breaking free from reliance on trade shows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trade shows are a valuable chance to make contact with many companies at once, but they take cost and effort, and results are unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online measures do require initial investment, but you can build a mechanism that generates leads continuously. Combining trade shows with online levels out and streamlines lead generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/exhibition\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">See our roundup of food, beverage, and agriculture trade shows here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_BjMkeywp\"><strong>Meeting customers with strong intent to order<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies searching for information online often already have concrete needs.

Because they can narrow by concrete search criteria\u2014\u201csmall lot,\u201d \u201cpowder processing,\u201d \u201cdomestic-ingredient capable,\u201d \u201ctea-bag filling\u201d\u2014inquiries reaching listed companies tend to be highly qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_o9bNJaIW\"><strong>A sales tool that runs 24 hours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Listing on a matching site lets you make your company's information public around the clock. You can reach potential customers nationwide, across region and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With traditional sales visits, results were unstable relative to a rep's effort, but online you can generate leads continuously. It's not rare for a listing to lead to a new deal within just a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_OCgm5MpE\"><strong>The importance of getting onto the comparison table<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordering companies compare multiple makers. On a matching site, because you're displayed by processing step and supported category, simply being on the comparison table is itself a sales opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly showing your strengths and scope of capability makes it easier to earn ordering companies' trust and raises the quality of inquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" data-thread=\"\" style=\"text-align: \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/studio-cms-assets\/projects\/9YWyw1reqM\/s-1618x880_v-fms_webp_dff524d5-cbc8-4f25-af06-91d11daf8ea1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_rho8fdja\"><strong>Optimizing your listing as sales material<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To maximize results on a matching site, the quality of the listing matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vague expressions like \u201cWe can do anything\u201d or \u201cPlease inquire for details\u201d won't catch an ordering company's interest. It's effective to state specifics\u2014the processing you can handle (drying, milling, filling, etc.), lot sizes, lead times, and uses (soup ingredients, tea, pet food, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_79LVhZK2\"><strong>Clear information builds trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By organizing and clearly stating your minimum lot, scope of capability, processing equipment, and areas of strength, you convey your strengths objectively.

Put your strengths into clear words, and place your information where it will be searched. That is the key to continuously increasing deals in the food-OEM business ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trade shows excel at building trust face-to-face, and referrals leverage your existing network. Adding online measures dramatically improves the stability and efficiency of lead generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider listing on a matching site right away, and by clearly communicating your strengths, build a structure that continuously wins high-quality inquiries.
